My head always fucks itself when remembering those books got made into anime
Chase Ward
Grayson Baker
I read the original when I was a kid, but there's a fucking manga too?
Gavin Powell
Never read the manga, only heard about it.
A quick look at Wikipedia says there's 12 volumes and started in 2006, which is fucking crazy to me.
Julian Torres
Looks like generic fantasy to me, what's wrong with it
John Hernandez
I watched Deltora Quest when I was younger I remember really liking it.
Also got a DS game in Japan looks pretty decent
Bentley Wright
Anthony Gutierrez
The original books are from Australia of all places
Wyatt Moore
Yoshinari made godlike illustrations for it.
Ian Rodriguez
The hell did he do to her? What is that he's holding anyway since that's not a mixer or a frying pan.
Kayden Gray
it's based on a series of YA fantasy books written by an australian author from 2000-2005.
Levi Richardson
The English books had cool as fuck monsters too; now that I think of it they were very dark souls-ian
Ethan Sanchez
I only saw the live action movie of that and I liked it, although it pretty clearly didn't know who the target audience was (kids? Adults? Tim Burton fans who want to see a ripoff of his work?)
John C. Reilly was pretty well cast as the main vampire.
Ian Reed
It is based on children's books you bought at the school book fare. I actually own all these and the sequels, there's 8 from the first series, 3 from shadowlands sequel, and 4 from the dragons sequel.
They all go on magical adventures where they fight giant monsters, wizards, and solve puzzles. The puzzles part weirds me for japan translations, because some of them are word puzzles like "make these ten sticks two" and they use the sticks to spell the word two.
Matthew Cruz
oh naive user, he hasn't done anything to her yet
John Bailey
What'd you mean? It gets worse doesn't it?
Jose Jones
>(kids? Adults? Tim Burton fans who want to see a ripoff of his work?)
So, teens.
Wyatt Bell
Ian Thompson
That actually makes sense as an anime. I mean, for fuck's sake, the entire plot is identical to Devilman Crybaby but with vampires instead of weird Japanese demons.

It's a geiger counter, obviously.
Easton Turner
Well what do you know. It's one of those devices that detects radiation.
Jonathan Cruz
I see your point. It does have that mix of edgy and cutesy aesthetics that quasi-alternative kids crave, and that usually drives them into otaku-dom.
